| Exploding Tree Warning for current cold snap |
| 2026-01-23 |
[NYPost] It’ll be a tree-mendous freeze.
Forecasters are warning that expected subzero temperatures could cause trees to explode as a brutal cold snap is expected to wallop most of the country in the coming days.
Trees may split and burst across the Midwest and Northern Plains on Friday and Saturday as a bitter Arctic blast from Canada sends temperatures plunging to roughly 20 degrees below zero, according to social media meteorologist Max Velocity.
------------------
| Temperatures are already below -20F in much of Minnesota as of Thursday 21 Jan evening. The cause of the 'exploding tree' is the expansion of sap inside the tree that burst open the bark. Sounds like gunfire. |
